Summer Reading Challenge


The Summer Reading Challenge, organised by the Reading Agency, aims to promote reading over the summer holidays for children aged 4-11 to maintain reading levels, and it’s always really fun!

It runs from the 5th of July to the 13th of September.

Story Garden: Summer Reading Challenge 2025
Summer reading challenge booklet

When you sign up you’ll be given a booklet with information about the challenge, space for reviews and a large picture.

For every two books you read, you will earn a set of stickers that fit over the booklet picture.

Once you have read all six books you will have a complete picture, and you’ll be given a certificate and a medal!

This year’s theme is ‘Story Garden’ so over summer we will have loads of creative activities including crafting and storytelling!
